For paid there are the usual suspects EF and KVS. But for award flight there is no ANA tool for OW. You need to register with a couple of FFP to find out. The situation gets worse as many airlines make seats available only to their own FF and not to all of OW. So the fact that something is available on LAN.com doesn't mean you can get it through AA.

I am going to be paying for the DONE but it was sort of a seperate question for award travel as i'm thinking of using some miles to go and visit my brother this summer in Cape Town. I just wanted to put it in this thread rather than starting a new thread for it.

A good free tool to see RTW availability is www.seatcounter.com

Incidentally, the NH system for *A doesn't appear to include any LX availability, which is a PITA for Swiss-based users. Or maybe this is just me, or it's just that LX is even meaner with award availability than most airlines.

I also use the KVS OW award availability tool, which requires you to join the QF FFP. (Free online if you're UK-based, but chargeable for Aussies and, I think, Kiwis.) For BA at least, KVS normally agrees with the BA site.

And yes, ANA is not showing LX at the moment. Not sure about TK yet.
